“One Park, Two Identities” has been announced as winner of the Lychee Park competition in Shenzhen, China
Located in the Futian district, Lychee Park is a symbol of the declaration of Shenzhen as a Special Economic Zone back in 1980. It covers an area of 30 hectares and features a Lake and a Lychee Forest. The explosive densification surrounding the park has turned it into an epicenter of thriving public life.
